Walk Hand in Hand

If you're visiting one of Mexico's popular beach destinations, you can take a walk along the beach or the malecon. If you're in a colonial city, head to the Zocalo or cobblestone streets about town. Whatever picturesque spot you choose to stroll in, take your sweetie's hand and enjoy the scenery together.

Getting out of your day to day roles and enjoying activities you don't usually do is part of the fun of a vacation, and an adrenaline rush may make you feel more loving afterwards, so seek out some adventurous activities together. Rush through the jungle on a zip line, ride some white water rapids, or give stand-up paddle boarding a try. Choose an activity that's a bit outside of your comfort zone, something that will challenge and excite you.

A long soak in the Jacuzzi or extra large bathtub can be a great way to unwind and let the sparks fly. As you relax in the bubbles, contemplating the view with a glass of champagne in your hand, you'll find that relaxation, intimacy and romance come easily. You could also select a resort that offers a private plunge pool, such as Las Brisas in Acapulco, or La Casa Que Canta in Zihuatanejo.

If you're not used to it, getting into a hammock can be challenging, even if you're by yourself. Add another person to the equation and it can get just plain silly. Consider this part of the fun. Try to get comfortable so that you can relax and swing gently back and forth for awhile.

See the Sunset

There's something special about watching the colors of the sky change. It's a magical show that is put on every evening, but we're usually too busy to take notice. Take the time on your vacation to slow down and enjoy this special time of day.

Have Dinner by Candlelight
